Information About The Rasatala Chakra
In our perception, everything possesses a yin yang of opposites (i.e., Light & Dark, South Pole & North Pole, Spiritual & Material, Superior & Inferior, High & Low, Positive & Negative, Soft & Hard, Heaven & Hell, Hot & Cold, Love & Hate, Feminine & Masculine, Attractive & Repulsive, etc.). A Loka is a luminous, spiritual sphere comparable to Yang. A Tala is a shadow, material sphere comparable to Yin. A Loka and a Tala are two seamless aspects to a specific state of consciousness.
Rasatala’s corresponding loka is Svarloka.
(Theosophy Definition) Rasatala: “Subterranean region.” The fifth chakra below the muladhara, centered in the ankles. Corresponds to the fifth astral netherworld beneath the earth's surface, called Rijisha (“expelled”) or Rasatala. Rasa means “earth, soil; moisture.” Place of taste or contact; a place or sphere where the apparatus of the inner and outer organs of sense are active. The fifth counting downwards of the seven talas. The corresponding loka or pole is janaloka. Rasatala corresponds to sparsa (touch), and to some of the hierarchies of ethereal, semi-objective dhyani-chohans of the astral matter of the manasa-manas.
Plane Of Rasatala: Rijisha
Description Of Rasatala In The Mahapuranam Srimad Devi Bhagavatam:
Lower down is Rasatala. The Daityas, Danavas and Pani Asuras live here. Besides these, there live the Nivata Kavachas of the Hiranyapura city and the Asuras named Kaleyas, the enemies of the Devas. These all are naturally very energetic and brave; their powers are baffled by the Tejas of the Bhagavan and they live like snakes in this region. The other Asuras that were driven and were afraid of the Mantras, uttered by Sarama, the messenger of Indra, live here too.
